"""Timeouts.

Many functions in :mod:`gevent` have a *timeout* argument that allows
to limit function's execution time. When that is not enough, the :class:`Timeout`
class and :func:`with_timeout` function in this module add timeouts
to arbitrary code.

.. warning::

    Timeouts can only work when the greenlet switches to the hub.
    If a blocking function is called or an intense calculation is ongoing during
    which no switches occur, :class:`Timeout` is powerless.
"""

           'with_timeout']


try:
    BaseException
except NameError:  # Python < 2.5

    class BaseException:
        # not subclassing from object() intentionally, because in
        # that case "raise Timeout" fails with TypeError.
        pass


class Timeout(BaseException):
    """Raise *exception* in the current greenlet after given time period::

        timeout = Timeout(seconds, exception)
        timeout.start()
        try:
            ...  # exception will be raised here, after *seconds* passed since start() call
        finally:
            timeout.cancel()

    When *exception* is omitted or ``None``, the :class:`Timeout` instance itself is raised:

        >>> import gevent
        >>> gevent.Timeout(0.1).start()
        >>> gevent.sleep(0.2)
        Traceback (most recent call last):
         ...
        Timeout: 0.1 seconds

    For Python 2.5 and newer ``with`` statement can be used::

        with gevent.Timeout(seconds, exception) as timeout:
            pass  # ... code block ...

    This is equivalent to try/finally block above with one additional feature:
    if *exception* is ``False``, the timeout is still raised, but context manager
    suppresses it, so the code outside the with-block won't see it.

    This is handy for adding a timeout to the functions that don't support *timeout* parameter themselves::

        data = None
        with gevent.Timeout(5, False):
            data = mysock.makefile().readline()
        if data is None:
            ...  # 5 seconds passed without reading a line
        else:
            ...  # a line was read within 5 seconds

    Note that, if ``readline()`` above catches and doesn't re-raise :class:`BaseException`
    (for example, with ``except:``), then your timeout is screwed.

    When catching timeouts, keep in mind that the one you catch maybe not the
    one you have set; if you going to silent a timeout, always check that it's
    the one you need::

        timeout = Timeout(1)
        timeout.start()
        try:
            ...
        except Timeout, t:
            if t is not timeout:
                raise # not my timeout
